She was chosen to join a “Digital Skills Training Program” in Shenzhen. When Zhang Mei first arrived in Shenzhen, she felt both excited and extremely 11 . She had never used a computer before. “I was afraid I would 12 the other students,” she said softly. The program 13 30 students from poor rural areas across China. They learned basic coding, digital design, and even how to build simple websites. Zhang Mei’s favorite session was learning to create a small game. “At first, I couldn’t even find the right 14 on the keyboard,” she laughed shyly. But with patient 15 from young tech volunteers, she made rapid progress. “The moment my game actually worked, I felt like I had 16 something impossible,” she said with shining eyes. The program also taught them how to solve problems 17 . “We had to work together, just like in a real tech company,” Zhang Mei explained. On the final day, they visited a major tech company in Shenzhen. “Seeing all those programmers working made me realize that I could be one of them someday,” she said 18 . Now back in her village, Zhang Mei has started a small “coding club” at her school. She wants to share her 19 and inspire other children to explore technology. “This program opened a whole new 20 for me,” she said. “I used to think that technology was 21 far away. Now I know that with hard work, I can 22 it.” Her teacher, Mr. Chen, said, “ 23 made Zhang Mei special was not her natural talent, but her strong will and curiosity.” Zhang Mei’s story shows that with the right 24 , children from any background can achieve great things.

This system uses AI-powered cameras and drones to detect and prevent forest fires in real time. Unlike traditional fire watching which relies on human observation from towers, the AI system can identify smoke or heat signals within seconds. “A human ranger might miss a small fire starting in a remote area. The AI never takes a break,” said Mr. Wang, the project leader. The system includes over 5,000 cameras placed throughout the forest. These cameras send images to a central AI computer that analyzes them for any signs of fire. If a potential fire is detected, the system immediately alerts the nearest fire station and sends a drone to confirm the situation. During a test in July 2026, the system detected a small campfire left unattended by tourists within 30 seconds of it producing smoke. Firefighters arrived within 15 minutes and prevented what could have been a major disaster. The government plans to install this system in five more major forest areas by 2028. “We are using technology to protect our natural treasures,” said a government spokesperson. 26. What is the main function of the AI Forest Ranger system? A. To plant new trees in forests. B. To watch animals in the forest. C. To detect and prevent forest fires. D. To replace human forest workers. 27. How does the system respond when it detects a potential fire? A. It waits for a human to check. B. It sends an alert and dispatches a drone. C. It tries to put out the fire itself. D. It records the information for later review. 28. What does the underlined word “detected” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Created B. Hidden C. Discovered D. Prevented 29. What is the future plan for this AI system? A. To sell it to other countries. B. To expand it to more forest areas. C. To use it only in summer months. D. To replace all human rangers. B Have you ever felt a sharp pain in your wrist or neck after hours of playing video games or typing on a keyboard? You might be experiencing “tech neck” or “gamer’s wrist” — new health problems caused by overuse of digital devices. These problems are becoming increasingly common among Chinese teenagers. A 2025 health report showed that nearly 45% of teenagers aged 12-18 reported some form of discomfort related to device use. “I used to play games for five hours straight every day. Now my wrists hurt so much I can barely write,” said Zhao Lei, a 15-year-old from Chengdu. Experts say the problems develop when people stay in the same position for too long. Looking down at a phone for hours puts up to 27 kilograms of pressure on the neck. Repeating the same finger movements on a keyboard or controller can cause inflammation (炎症) in the wrists. Dr. Han, a sports medicine specialist, offers simple solutions. “First, follow the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Second, take regular breaks to stretch your neck and wrists. Third, hold your phone at eye level instead of looking down. Finally, limit screen time to no more than two hours of entertainment per day.” Some schools have started “Ergonomics (人体工学) Education” programs. Students learn proper sitting positions and do stretching exercises between classes. “We saw a 30% reduction in student complaints after three months,” said Principal Li. 30. What are “tech neck” and “gamer’s wrist”? A. Video game characters. B. Health problems from device overuse. C. New types of smartphones. D. Exercise equipment for gamers. 31. According to Dr. Han, what should you do every 20 minutes? A. Stop using all devices completely. B. Look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. C. Drink 20 milliliters of water. D. Walk 20 steps around the room. 32. What can be inferred about the Ergonomics Education programs? A. They were not effective. B. They only taught video game skills. C. They helped reduce health complaints. D. They required students to buy new chairs. C ① In 2026, a revolutionary medical technology called “Nano-Healer” began clinical trials in Shanghai hospitals. These are microscopic robots that can travel through the bloodstream to deliver medicine directly to diseased cells. ② How does it work? Doctors inject (注射) millions of nano-robots into the patient’s bloodstream. Using magnetic fields and AI navigation, the robots find their way to the target area — such as a tumor (肿瘤). Once they arrive, they release medication exactly where it is needed. This means healthy cells are not affected by the medicine. ③ The first successful treatment was performed on a 45-year-old patient with liver cancer in March 2026. Traditional chemotherapy (化疗) had failed, but after three Nano-Healer treatments, the tumor shrank by 60%. “It’s like having a smart delivery system inside your body,” said Dr. Lin, the lead researcher. ④ However, challenges remain. The technology is extremely expensive — about 500,000 yuan per treatment. Also, scientists are still studying long-term side effects. Some patients have reported mild fever after treatment. The robots also cannot treat all types of diseases yet. ⑤ The research team plans to reduce costs to under 100,000 yuan by 2030 and expand to treat heart disease and diabetes. “This is just the beginning of precision medicine,” said Dr. Lin. “In the future, nano-robots might even repair damaged organs from the inside.” 33. What is paragraph ② mainly about? A. The cost of Nano-Healer treatment. B. The history of nano-robot development. C. How Nano-Healer works inside the body. D. The side effects of the treatment. 34. According to paragraph ④, what is a current problem with Nano-Healer? A. It doesn’t work on cancer patients. B. The robots are too big to inject. C. It has no side effects at all. D. It is very expensive. 35. What does the underlined word “revolutionary” in paragraph ① probably mean? A. Very dangerous B. Completely new and important C. Extremely small D. Surprisingly cheap 36. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A. ①--②③--④⑤ B. ①②--③--④⑤ C. ①--②③④--⑤ D. ①②③--④--⑤ D You’ve probably heard about climate change and carbon emissions (排放). But have you heard of “food waste carbon footprint”? Every time you throw away food, you’re not just wasting the food itself — you’re also wasting all the resources used to produce, transport, and store that food. In China, about 35 million tons of food are thrown away every year. That’s enough to feed 50 million people for an entire year. The carbon footprint of this wasted food is equal to the annual emissions of 20 coal power plants. A 2025 study found that the average Chinese family throws away about 200 yuan worth of food each month. Vegetables and fruits are the most wasted items, followed by rice and noodles. “I used to buy too much food at the supermarket because of promotions. Half of it would go bad before we could eat it,” said Ms. Wang, a mother from Nanjing. Here are four steps to reduce your food waste carbon footprint. Step 1: Plan your meals Make a shopping list before going to the supermarket. Buy only what you need for the week. This simple habit can reduce food waste by 30%. Step 2: Store food properly Learn how to store different foods. Potatoes and onions should be kept in cool, dark places. Leafy vegetables need to be refrigerated in bags. Proper storage can extend food life by days or even weeks. Step 3: Use leftovers creatively Leftover rice can become fried rice. Old bread can become bread pudding. Vegetable scraps can be used to make soup stock. The possibilities are endless. Step 4: Compost what you can’t eat If food has truly gone bad, compost (堆肥) it instead of throwing it in the trash. Composting turns food waste into fertilizer for plants and reduces methane emissions from landfills. Many cities in China have started “Food Waste Reduction” programs. The city of Hangzhou reduced restaurant food waste by 40% in 2025 through public education campaigns. 37. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To describe different types of food waste. B. To explain food waste’s environmental impact and how to reduce it. C. To compare food waste in different countries. D. To show how to cook with leftovers. 38. How much food does China throw away each year according to the passage? A. 200 yuan worth per family B. 35 million tons C. 50 million tons D. 20 coal power plants’ worth 39. Which is an example of “Store food properly”? A. Buying food because of promotions. B. Keeping potatoes in a cool, dark place. C. Making fried rice from leftover rice. D. Throwing all food waste in the trash. 40. What did Hangzhou achieve in 2025? A. They completely eliminated food waste. B. They reduced restaurant food waste by 40%. C. They built 20 new composting facilities. D. They fed 50 million people with saved food. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的七个选项中选出五个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Do you often find yourself checking social media as soon as you wake up?

It’s not fear of spiders or heights. It’s the feeling of worry, fear, or hopelessness about environmental problems like climate change, pollution, and animal extinction. Eco-anxiety is growing among teenagers worldwide. Why? Because young people are constantly exposed to news about environmental crises. They see melting ice caps, burning forests, and dying animals on social media every day. They worry about what kind of world they will inherit. A 2026 global study found that 70% of teenagers aged 13-18 feel at least moderate eco-anxiety. One 15-year-old from Shanghai said, “Sometimes I lie awake at night thinking about the future. What if there’s no clean water when I grow up?” But experts say a certain amount of eco-anxiety is actually healthy. It shows you care about the planet. The problem is when anxiety becomes overwhelming and leads to hopelessness or inaction. So what can you do about eco-anxiety? First, educate yourself with reliable information, not just scary headlines. Second, take action — even small actions help. Recycle, save water, plant a tree, or join an environmental club. Action reduces anxiety. Third, talk to others about your feelings. You’re not alone. Finally, spend time in nature. It reminds you what you’re protecting. Dr. Lin, an environmental psychologist, says, “Eco-anxiety is a normal response to a real threat. Don’t let it paralyze you. Let it motivate you to make positive changes.” Remember: No one can save the planet alone, but everyone can do something. And doing something is better than doing nothing. 66. What is eco-anxiety? ______________________________________________________________________ 67. Why do teenagers feel eco-anxiety according to the passage? ______________________________________________________________________ 68. What is the first step to deal with eco-anxiety? ______________________________________________________________________ 69. According to Dr. Lin, can eco-anxiety be helpful? ______________________________________________________________________ 70. What should you let eco-anxiety motivate you to do? ______________________________________________________________________ 七、书面表达（共25分） 71. 假如你是李华，你的学校最近举办了一场“科技与未来”主题演讲比赛。你在比赛中获得了第一名。你的英国笔友David给你发来电子邮件表示祝贺，并询问你演讲的主要内容以及你如何准备的。请你给他回信。 邮件内容要点： 1. 感谢他的祝贺； 2. 介绍演讲的主要内容：科技如何改变日常生活（例如：AI助手、智能家居、在线教育等），以及青少年应该如何为科技未来做准备； 3. 分享你的准备过程：广泛阅读科技新闻、练习演讲技巧、向老师请教等； 4. 鼓励他也要勇敢追求自己的梦想。 写作要求： - 短文必须包括所有内容要点，可适当发挥； - 词数不少于80；格式、开头与结尾已经给出，不计入总词数； - 邮件中不得使用真实的人名、校名。 Dear David, Thank you so much for your congratulations! _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ Yours sincerely, Li Hua 答案 一、单项选择 1-5 B D A C B 6-10 A A C C A 二、完形填空 11-15 B B C A B 16-20 C D B C A 21-25 B C D A C 三、阅读理解 26-29 C B C B 30-32 B B C 33-36 C D B C 37-40 B B B B 41-45 GEFAC 四、词汇运用 46. invention 47. dangerous 48. discovery 49. choice 50. assistant 51. hopeful 52. improvement 53. drinking 54. decorating 55. gracefully 五、短文填空 56. was built 57.
